I think there has to be a carrot and a stick to what we are doing here.

But also in your expert opinion the ability to export LNG, liquefied natural gas, and the ability to export oil will benefit our consumers because we will produce more here at home.

So that we can continue to produce domestic energy rather than rely on energy from the Middle East.

So infrastructure is vital.

we need to lift the export ban on oil. Everybody wins in that equation all the way from the producer to the consumer at the pump.

I think it does just push the discussion on what we do here in this country to relook, critically relook, at these export policies that are inhibiting not only our job growth, our economic opportunity, but really our ability to utilize a…

I think it is so important because it not only demonstrates the economic benefit and impact of the right policies here at home, but also the geopolitical influence we can have on a global basis with the right approach both in terms of what…

Do you feel you have the ability to get what you need? Yes or no?

Again, to all the victims and their families in Boston and those from around the country who were affected, and even beyond our shores, our hearts and prayers go out to them once again.

I truly thank you for that.

Will these technologies put us ahead of the technologies that attackers use to try to infiltrate our systems?

You feel that you have generally good security and you are working to make it better with information-sharing and response and coordination and technology deployment, both individually and some of these technologies that cross businesses…

It is very important that we do. So I think you are going to continue to be right in the middle of some very, very important work.

I am concerned about the civilian cyber campus concept, the cost and idea of putting everything in one place.

Do you have some kind of cost analysis that shows the relative cost of one consolidated campus versus multiple sites?

We are all for clean water, but this rule puts such a heavy burden on farmers and ranchers.

So I would ask each one of our witnesses, briefly: One, are you for good environmental stewardship?

We are the true environmentalists of this land.

They are going beyond their authorized authority.

Don't those increased costs get passed on to your consumers?

We need to defund it or, better, to deauthorize it, which myself and others here are working to do.

We have to have clean water to do our farming practices the right way.

We're at risk for growing our oil and gas industry, our energy industry, in this country versus having it shrink if we don't address this oil export problem and soon.

Do you have some way to test and verify that you are ahead of the curve when it comes to unmanned aircraft or to cyber?

I think with your cyber mission, that lends itself well to also having that defense.
